>the one black guy
uh
is this the blackfyre rebellion or what the frick?
Corlyse Velyaryon.
I mean, they turned a Lyseni pirate, canonically also the descendants of Valyria into MaxiBlack Blackponte in the original show.
Why not do the same for the Velaryons?
I thought they just made him a summer islander
They did. Same for Xaro Xoan Ducksauce
Nope. Xaro had a line explaining that in the show he was a former Summer Islander commoner that got rich. Saalador is just a Black person with no further explanations, despite coming from a city stacked of litterall valyrian colonists descendants notorious for their absurd high ammount of platinum hairs and violet eyes
They didn't need to explicitly clarify that he was a Summer Islander because he was a Pirate. The audience doesn't know his character was originally Lyseni and pirates are often depicted as an exotic mishmash of peoples. Xaro was a random black elite in this city that is otherwise white, hence the clarification on his background for the viewer.
That's Ambatukam Nigarion

>is this the blackfyre rebellion or what the frick?
can i ask a genuine question as a non-american?
why do you guys feel compelled to insert blacks in anything even remotely inspired by europe and its culture?
do people really watch a show about fantasy europe and go yup this show needs blacks?
Grrm world does feature people of all colours, but there is, mostly, a kind of logic to how this works.
people from Dorne were more tanned than people from Winterfell... for eg.
This goes heavily against the leftist worldview.
Juden hate white
antisemitic question
Dude…the British insert more diverse casting into their actual historical dramas than we do into out fantasy. You’re moronic
brits are just proto americans, not europeans
>do people really watch a show about fantasy europe and go yup this show needs blacks?
yes.
You would be surprised, some liberal americans go to europe and get uncomfortable about the lack of diversity
The funniest part is they don’t feel any compulsion to add browns or East Asians. It’s just blacks blacks blacks. Unless you are French then you don’t have that many blacks in your country. It just feels so weird to us Europeans.
uhhhh have you seen british shows? have you seen french shows? have you seen swedish ads? have you seen belgian movies? have you seen german shows?
you must be living in a 3rd world country
>the one black guy
>ONE
The guard whose face is hidden by the banner is probably also a Black person. That's 3/9 blacks. The pregnant wench on the left is also probably carrying a nigglet.
Literally
>who cares, the show
Why my man's sitting on some persian looking ass throne.
What happened to that iconic chair they got going on?
This is the beginning of the show, which opens at a meeting at Harrenhal.
Apparently they took an heavy byzantine/Persian aesthetic for the early Targaryens, likely to remark their foreigner nature compared to Westeros.
Rhaenyra in the heir nomination clip have hairstiles and dresses inspired to Theodora for example
Byzantine aesthetic is cool, but it clashes too much with the dark and black aesthetic of the later Targs.
I think that's the point they are trying ti show. The Dance killed so many Targaryens only kids remained, so the trasmission of the Valyrian culture went mostly lost in later Targaryens, that became more and more westerosi in culture (aside sister fricking ofc)
I kinda like that actually
You could have used your brain for 2 seconds and concluded that that is a different place but no, gotta make a stupid post showing how dumb and low IQ you are
You utter mouthbreathing moron.
I was hinting at it being a bit weird for a show with a massively, hugely iconic throne not using it in it's marketing. Especially given that the show is about the greens and the blacks, you know the fricking people standing around Viserys fighting over said throne.
But of course you have autism and didn't understand that, didn't you?
if what
said is true, harrenhal was controlled by house strong at the start of dance, why the frick would a riverlands house have persian decor? it's frickin' moronic.
All dragons have 4 legs.
A 2 legged flying reptile is a Wyvern.
It's been fricked from the start just like Skyrim.
No. You moron Black folk belong to reddit or something. Wyverns are dragons.
literal underage zoomers, you should be buried in holes in the ground
holy reddit
>types of dragons.jpg
so all of these are dragons.
>dragon is a type of dragon
Four legged dragons look terrible when you animate them flying that's why no one uses them.
It's harder to animate them is the reason also normies are okay with wyverns.
Seems Warcraft is the only big IP left with fricking proper dragons.
Just because tumblr doesn't have enough imagination.
four legged dragons look fine hovering but I guess they do look a bit worse than wyverns when they're flying straight
These all exist in GoT?
>chinese dog dragon
that's a lion. They got a bunch of exotic animals from Africa and used them for depictions for mythical creators, like the giraffe for a qilin.
what about king cobra is king cobra a dragon sir
definitions of things are loose attributions which are fluid and change with the times. dragons are one such example, gender is another. plus, it's a fantasy show.
"Gender" is not a word that changed it's meaning. It's recent doublespeak term made by a degenerate psychologist to justify his parafilias. It's barely 40-50 years old
>hurr words don't mean anything
Frick off, moron
A wyvern is a dragon, but not all dragons are wyverns you fricking dragon autists I swear
If you need to call it a wyvern, then it isnt a dragon. A dragon (four legged) is just a dragon with no needs to further specification. Hence, it's the true dragon.

>House Velaryon is of Valyrian descent, and its members often have Valyrian features, such as silver hair, purple eyes, and pale skin.
huh
He's also great nephew to Queen Alyssa, who is Jaeheres I's mother (the guy on the throne). She was choosen to marry Arny's because of her pure Velayron blood. So basically in two generations he got completely negrified.
At least the armor is proper fantasy western armor, instead of leather and buckles that everyone wore the last few seasons of GOT.
The Targaryen dragon has 3 heads yet the actual dragons only have one
It's symbolic of Aegon the conquerer and his two brides, not a literal representation of a dragon.
I didn't mention the heads you moron. The legs. The targ banner has always had two legs. Now it has 4 legs, which makes zero sense in universe.
How does it make zero sense? The show takes place 150 years before GOT. Whoever sewed their banner differently.
Since it's not supposed to be an actual dragon they can do it however.
*sewed it differently
What if the Lannister banner lion only had two legs?
Sounds good to me.
The Stark sigil is a disembodied head but I doubt 10 years ago you were b***hing about it.
Why? That's what a wolf head actually looks like.
Yeah man, wolves have scales.
It's a tv show. It's not the books. I'm not broken up about it
Its not a scaled wolf. Its layered fur making up its mane.
>these are the fricking morons HBO wants as fans
Sure why bother maintaining internal consistency for something as simple as the heraldry of the ruling dynasty. Not like those were codified to an autistic degree during the time period the Fatman aped.
I actually have b***hed about it because that is much less "readable" than a wolf running through a white field.
i mean, i was. The stark should have a running dire-wolf on a white field
but i was fine with it because S1 was good
>How does it make zero sense?
Because their dragons don't have four legs
They they arent dragons? I still dont understand why the argument keep going on.
there gonna play it as a joke that it looses its legs or its to hard to sew with 4 and then at the end its shown with 2
Why does that armor look like something from Elder Scrolls?
I think they are Kingsguard?
Doesn't explain why they look moronic though. Or why they've been shifting to silver for a while when the white enamel would look so much more distinct
It looks more like the glass armor from Oblivion.
maybe its 3d printed

>Rhaenys is an ugly haggard b***h instead of a beautiful elderly Targaryen
I hate HBO to an extent you homosexuals cannot even fathom
She was only beautiful in her youth. She got fat when she got older. She is supposed to look more like Cathy Bates, not like Emile Clarke.
She didn’t get fat. She just aged. Nice unfounded headcanon. Unless you’re talking about Rhaenyra
Rhaenyra is who I was talking about. Too many Targ bawds in that family.

>She was only beautiful in her youth. She got fat when she got older. She is supposed to look more like Cathy Bates, not like Emile Clarke.
So they should have cast Amber Heard?
Rhaenys at the start of the dance Lost her famous beauty, too many births
Allicent somehow instead remained extremelly young and pretty despite having birth four times, making Rhaenys seethe ever more.
We knew goin in that this would have a couple of diversity highers . It can still be good . It'll look good . If martin did his job right and not let this get pozzed to hell it'll still be great .
HBO won't go the rout of Disney .
As for as plot a targ taking summer islander for either pleasure or power for control works . A black targ with silver hair is cool . homie looks like drizzits .
It's only the current state of affairs with the media dose a black targ seem fishy .

Both are shit, GRRM, but Tolkien finished his work and we got plenty of books. This show, this dumb television soap opera, is your legacy, fat frick.
>Tolkien finished his work
He literally didn't.
Tolkien did not finish the material ROP is based on.
>We got plenty of books
We didn't really though. Martin has published more books than Tolkien. A lot of Tolkien's stuff was edited and published posthumously. I imagine Martin has a fricking library waiting for someone to publish posthumous. His publishers probably pray everyday the fat frick dies of a heart attack so they can get their hands on his unpublished stuff, or ghostwrite the rest of the series.
>I imagine Martin has a fricking library waiting for someone to publish posthumous.
Nice imagination but the fat frick hasn't written a word in 11 years.
He wrote Fire and Blood. His editor trimmed out 600 pages.
Two autistic nazis wrote it and he slapped his name on it.
Martin already orderer to burn any unpublished stuff he wrote once God will send him in hell. People will no longer allowed to make stuff out of his IP's
this is a classic shilling tactic

why did both medieval england and asia come up with dragons at the same time?
The myth of dragons are spread across the world. Likely because people found remains of dinosaurs.
There is a common theory that the myth of the Cyclop was born after greeks found bones of Mammoths for example (The hole left by the trunk cas easily be mistook for a giant eye orbit)
iteration of common folk tales
if they were both the same dragon, they'd look the same, but asian dragons have always looked like big snakes
because dragons really existed
whats up with the Black person Targaryean?
isn't diversity just great?
Summer Islander (Black personland in Martin's world) mother.
>he doesn't know what bleaching is
Where's the source it's his mother? The show just randomly made him a Black person.
SJW showrunners hate white people, even though they wanted to turn a mostly all-white fantasy story into a TV show, so they are diversifying one of the major houses for this story.
Yeah because they were never dragons. They were fricking wyverns
reddit
The token Black person randomly shoved in there makes it look like a comedy parody, not the serious drama it'll try to sell itself as.
They're doing it so that they can have a throwaway line about changing to the 2-legged version, to explain why it kept changing between them back in GOT. As if the old versions were just lying around and got reused.
How does the Black person fit in?
Rhaenys's mother was a Baratheon why hasn't she got black hair. The seed wasn't that strong after all.
Sometimes black hairs, unlike any other kind of hair, can rise as a dominant trait in Targaryen kids with a platinum hair parent and a black hair one. But no always
Pic related was the son of a Martell black haired princess. His older brother inherited the black airs, while he didnt.
Same goes for Egg's kids, and his Blackwood black aired wife. 2/3 of the kids shows up as platinum aired, and one was instead black aired.
Black hairs in this universe are instead 100% a dominant trait when paired with blond ones. Hence the proof Robert's legal kids werent his
Hair works the same way in GOT as it is in real life. Bobby's kids being blonde wasn't 100% proof they weren't his. If it was, then everyone, including him, would have known it immediately.
That scene just showed that at least from Roberts paternal line, he received only black haired alleles. His mother, Cassana Estermont also had brown hair. So Robert at most one blonde allele, but likely had none. Since Cersei has two blonde alleles, each of their kid had a 50/50 chance to be blonde. Having 3 blonde kids in a row has only a 12.5% chance. So it was strong evidence she was unfaithful, but not proof on its own.
Martin has confirmed multiple times that genetics in Planetos dosent work exactly as ours. Hence the Lannisters keeping their blonde hairs and green eyes after thousands of years of mixes
Baratheon always kept dark hairs and blue eyes, and every time they had offspring with blonde people, the kids came out with dark hairs
Simply few people would notice this pattern in a medieval world, fewer people would have both the litteracy, resources and connections to dwelve in genealogic trees of royal families, and even fewer people would bother with the effort/risk of calling out a queen as a tracherous prostitute
And Robert didn't know that all Baratheon's have black hair no matter what with no exceptions?
He's a drunk fool that it's barely litterate. You are grossly overstimating how many people would care about such stuff in a real life medieval enviorement (and among that crowd, how many would actually bother to investigate because it's cost-effective for them)
Also i think deep down a part of him knew these skinny blonde homosexuals couldnt had been sired by him. But he was so depressed he didnt care, and so his psyche suppressed that part
And Stannis? He wasn't aware that all Baratheons have black hair?
Wow what a good point, if only Stannis was the one that figured it out first or something
Stannis "brings his suspecions" to Jon Arryn. Even Stannis isn't certain, and he doesn't raise this point until Jouffrey is like 14. Varys hints to Tyrion that Littlefinger or maybe even himself told Stannis.
And indeed in the book he was the first one to notice AND cared enough to investigate further? For all we know, he may have suspects since the third kid went out as blonde, but didnt act for years to try to decide what to do (given people could had easily accused him of usurpation, as he would had been the biggest beneficiary of accusing hiw newphers of illegitimacy)
Renly also likely noticed something, but didnt care, or took a more discrete approach to observe how the eventuall discovery would had played out. He was always working for the Tyrell's interests, not the one of his house.
If all Baratheons are black haired, it doesn't take 3 kids. He should have known by the first.
As i said, it's entirely possible he started to have suspects once Joffrey grow up. We are simply secure we know only in the timeframe he revealed his suspects to Jon.
It's not like he was in the power to prove anything. He was in a court of idiots, careless utilitarians, and especially people who would had their position of power and prestige damaged by such revelation, and so with an interest to deny it even if they tought it was plausible. It wasnt easy to find someone to trust enough to reveal this suspect
People knew far less back in those times but they weren’t straight up moronic. Also family trees and parenthood were extremely important to succession. If they are gonna be experts on one thing it would be kids and how they come out. I think you are way off the mark with this analysis to be honest. It’s a stretch and a half.
Cont.
To put it simply, the vast majority of modern people dont event know who their great-grandfather nowadays are, and neither most of these people care, despite massive more documents and sources than a medieval society
Modern people don't know who their grandmothers are because we are cultureless goyim. People from great lord bloodlines know their genealogy. Books are written on the subject. If every Baratheon ever had black hair, people in the family would have noticed when Robert's kids didn't. Its so much more believable to just realize genetics works exactly as it does IRL, and that Roberts kids being blonde was suspecious, but not mathematically impossible.
>People from great lord bloodlines know their genealogy
Robert was a brute (althought charismatic) idiot that didnt cared about about anything aside fighting, drinking, fricking, and Lyanna. So pretty much like the average american nowadays
Stannis we know he know, but for the situation he was involved, likely kept the secret for years. Renly didnt care, and as far as we know almost all the Baratheon courtymen remained in Storm's End, while Robert formed a new court in KL's by mixing former Targaryen courtymen with Lannisters courtymen brought by Cersei. Neither of these kind of people had either reasons or interests to research genealogy
Stannis didn't know. He suspected. He asked Jon Arryn to look into it. Varys implies him or Littlefinger told Stannis.
Yea, i meant he suspected because litterally nobody in the world aside Cersei can be 100% secure if the kids are of Robert or Jaime.
But by chance alone, three blonde kids are enough to have a plausible suspect, to people that both have the knowledge about ancestry AND the personal interest of dig that lake of mudd
A Lannister courtyman (the most common individual in Robert's court) had no reasons to damage his household (and hence his/her) position, even if they shared the suspect.
This. The other guy is going into wayyyy too much effort to try and make Robert Baratheon sound like a total and utter moron. Hair and eye colour are obsessions for these royal families. They very much know who their ancestors are. If they were talking about a random peasant then sure. But if literally 100% of Baratheon’s had black hair and that’s how it works in this universe then yeah. He would have obviously known.
>Hence the Lannisters keeping their blonde hairs and green eyes after thousands of years of mixes
the Lannisters from what we see possibly intermarry quite a lot as there seem to be a lot of them. In any case their male line isn't descended from Lann the clever but one of the Andal houses that I forgot the name of
Starks are described as having a look but we do not know if that look has been the case for thousands of years it could only just be the last few generations or a general appearance common with first men ancestry
Baratheons seem to be the odd one out really in that they have a lot of Targaryen ancestry (compared to other houses outside of the well known Valyrian ones) but don't seem to display any Targaryen features
just sounds more like GRRM handwaved it and saying the readers should accept how he writes his series rather than actually having an idea about it
>but one of the Andal houses that I forgot the name of
Lydden
>Starks are described as having a look but we do not know if that look has been the case for thousands of years it could only just be the last few generations or a general appearance common with first men ancestry
there's a couple of people that also have grey eyes and brown hair so I imagine the stark thing is also having long faces and either being wild or reserved personality wise but idk if that could be called a genetic trait
>Baratheons seem to be the odd one out really in that they have a lot of Targaryen ancestry (compared to other houses outside of the well known Valyrian ones) but don't seem to display any Targaryen features
remember that the "baratheon look" is actually the durrandon look since orys was said to have black eyes, I guess argella had stronger genes than orys
>just sounds more like GRRM handwaved it and saying the readers should accept how he writes his series rather than actually having an idea about it
honestly it's one of the things I'll cut some slack to GRRM since it's just to showcase the world being "fantastical" or any much fitting word you could think of
the point I was making though I didn't really articulate it was just that *if* there is an alternative sort of genetics or inheritance in their universe then it would make sense if it just meant that more of the traits of the male side were carried over as that follows the descent of the houses in most cases. Similarly with Catelyn's children mostly inheriting her looks
however, with the Baratheons inheriting Durrandon traits when it's possible the Baratheon progenitor had Valyrian features (as a Targaryen bastard) that theory doesn't quite work out
so if there's a system to it it isn't quite clear. It doesn't need to be some structured wookiepedia tier thing I just couldn't see how exactly it works
Baratheon is literally a Targ dynasty, Aegon's half brother Orys was married to the Storm King Argilac the Arrogant's daughter after they roasted him and his army. They took after the daughter's black hair.
Looks laughably bad
white looks so cool. maybe it just doesnt look good on film though
can't be any worse than the witcher
thanks for reminding me
I seriously have no idea how anyone thought this was good. Like not even just looking at it and approving it but even coming ep with the design in the first place
The story behind is that the women writers in the team said they thought of the Niilfgardians as literal dickheads so they gave the order for the costumes. And no i am not kidding. Have to find that certain Tweet
israeli women
It'll be fixed in post trust me
I hate how you can see the machine tool marks, and tell its been spray-painted. I don't know how Rings of Power did their armor, but the LOTR films at least used authentic armor smithing techniques, and it showed.
Could be worse, I guess. I'm more bothered by fricking doctor who being in the show. Who does he play, again? Please tell me he isn't Daemon.
100% Daemon
Don't worry, Matt Smith played Patrick Bateman in the American Psycho musical and he was frickin kino. He can do villains.
>Daemon
>villain
What did you just say to me you little b***h?
Not worried about the actor's performance tbh. The story is solid, I'm just worried about the shitty woke HBO writers shoving diversity messaging via dialogue into this show.
I have listened to the audio book of "Fire and Blood" at least 15 times. Shit is good.
i think this looks cool
The design is fine but the quality looks like something from a Halloween store
It's an improvement over the later seasons but still worse than the early seasons
How does this even happen? Like they literally already had the suit ready for Jaime, did someone think that the second one was better?
They changed the KG a couple of times.
Maybe because they needed a new one for Gregor and they wouldn't have been able to make it like the others so they redid all of them. The chick that was in charge of costuming was eaten by a lion while on safari after season 3.
>The chick that was in charge of costuming was eaten by a lion while on safari after season 3.

Lmao what a fricking moron. Imagine you raise a kid and they die from something that is literally Darwin Award worthy. Fricking hell.
maybe it was damaged and too expensive to replace, maybe just creative differences between producers, prop masters and set designers.

No idea about Jaime, but they borrowed Loras' armor and had to return that. Maybe they sold Jaime's armor at some point and made a cheaper version
Even he looks miscast. He just doesn't fit that armor.
WTF Feanor looks like that?
>people on twatter praising this
LMAO, this armor and the Kingsguard shit look fricking awful.
When in the frick are people going to stop taking random promo shots as footage from in-episode?
I promise you this scene will not look this brightly lit as it does in this picture, nor will the armor look like it's a plastic mold.

Nobody going to mention the 60 year old pregnant b***h?
She was actually barely legal when she married Viserys in the book, and indeed died by giving birth to Rhaenys because her body wasnt developed enough
I dont know who the frick they hired to play Aemma Arryn, but it's clearly misscast by age alone.
is that a summer islander? how exotic!
This looks so fricking shit. I'm surprised it made it past pre production.
i loved got and hope this shit fricking fails spectacularly
I kind of like that it does a bit more colorful and fantastical than GOT but that isnt really a saving grace when that should be the norm
>New Targaryen banner depicts a dragon with 4 legs
Showonlygay... The original banner had 4 legs. You'd know that if you actually read the books.
wouldn't be the first time the show made a better banner.
Reading the Entertainment Weekly article, and both young Alicent and older Rhaenyra's actresses use they/them pronouns. What the frick. I'm an ESL so it makes the article difficult for me to read when I don't know if they're talking about multiple people or one of these two nutcases. God forbid the show gets big and suddenly everyone's out there respecting their they/them nonsense like Ezra Miller.

Holy shit. The two "hot" women of the show are played by trannies. LOL
All trannies are mentally ill attention prostitutes but not all mentally ill attention prostitutes are trannies.
If you identify as a gender other than your birth sex, you are a troony, by definition. She identifies as non-binary. She was born female. So she is a troony.
It's funny because trannies argue about this, they exclude each other based on who they deem on being a "real" troony
If you have a daughter in a liberal city there's a greater than 50% chance she'll identify as "non-binary"
Goes up to 90% if she goes to a liberal arts college
I can’t fricking wait for the backlash in about 10 years or so.
I read a Reddit thread about Ezra Miller and even despite all the crazy, violent shit he’s done some guy still got mass downvoted for not calling him “they.” It’s a literal clown world. Never give these people attention, at least trannies will cut off their dick for attention. These c**ts want all of that praise for doing literally nothing.
Ezra is based
Did you watch the arrest video where he cracks up talking and asking about pronouns?
He clearly only does it as a joke
>Before D'Arcy, who uses they/them pronouns, could wrap their head around Rhaenyra, they had to figure out how to throw together a makeshift wig.
> "There's a preconceived notion that she's [always] scheming," the 19-year-old Carey, who uses she/they pronouns, says of Alicent in Fire and Blood.
Its all so tiresome.
who the frick cares
> oh no, not the hecking dragoniro with more legs-o
maybe you should consume another thing, like a book, or frick a prostitute or get a blowjob for someone, idk, grow the frick up and stop seeing crap for manchildren
The Dragon also has three heads. The legs are probably as symbolic as the heads; the fourth 'leg' of the Conquest being Orys Baratheon.
Is that supposed to be Jaehaerys I?
Looks cool aesthetically, but that fricking diversity cast sticks out like a sore thumb
Why the frick are they old so old? The couple on the left and right should be in their 20s
Alicent Hightower was like 54 during the war and in the show she's played by a hot 28-year-old. They clearly don't give a frick about adapting the story properly.
44* my bad. Still.
it is pretty jarring seeing a clearly middle-aged woman pregnant, especially in a medieval setting.
yeah also King Jaehaerys is supposed to have long hair and a long flowing beard, and Viserys has short blond hair, a mustache and a pot belly, he's not supposed to look rugged and handsome.
If they're willing to overlook small but clear details like these, god knows how much they're gonna frick up the rest of the story.
Everyone looks dirty and disheveled. The aesthetics are all fricked.
It's because all their Velaryons are octaroons now
Guy on the center in OP: left
Guy on the far left in OP: right
Is it that fricking hard to just get their appearances right?
dude they cast fricking rastaman for Corlys, they don't give a shit

>On June 1, 2015, Chappell was visiting Johannesburg's Lion Park when a lion lunged through the window of her vehicle, which she had opened to lean out and take photographs, against park rules, and bit her on the neck.
Kek! Instagram generation, you gotta love them!
Which book is this series based on?
2nd half of Fire and Blood
we
the costumes look exactly like what /got/ always wanted. Looks like pre-GoT ASoIaF art and not the shit costumes of stupid black leather and detailless armor in later seasons of GoT.
Those are full face helms. Look at what they kings guard are wearing. Its non-functional fantasy shit.
I see that now, yeah they look like shit.
this looks suprisingly good though, I wasn’t expecting that from this show.
It's sort of close but as pointed out, the open face helmets are fricking stupid.
still looks better than any armor in GoT after season one
That's already been acknowledged, that doesn't make it
>exactly like what /got/ always wanted. Looks like pre-GoT ASoIaF art
Wait does Roose have armour like that in the books? I don’t remember. On one hand, it would be scary as frick in battle. On the other, Robb really should have been able to tell they were evil
It's either supposed to be an older Bolton ancestor or Ramsay, not sure why it looks just like Roose.
They were doing ok at the start then just fell off so hard
>House of the Wyvern
Wtf GRRM
>house of winged drakes
too unrealistic for me
>Velyarons are black
>The two main females are played by trannies
Rings of Power will be dogshit, but it will be better than this.
Why did Feast and Dance get so much hate?
People get filtered by Brienne and her adventures across Kinoland. She has the best chapters. Everyone else is wrong.
Dance is legitimately bad
Editing disasters & endless cliff hangers.
Brienne chapters have some of his best writing & his dumbest sub-plots. We, the reader, know Brienne is miles from Sansa. ‘The hopeless quest’ is an interesting idea to riff on, but not satisfying too read in this case, and hey look! another cliff hanger! people love those! right?
I think people were angry about not knowing what happened to all their familiar PoVs when Feast released, personally I love AFfC. Dany really does bog down Dance though.
Yes, almost every plot thread ends in a cliffhanger.
This would be great if a new book was published in a reasonable amount of time, but instead its just resulted in collective blue balls.
I loved Dance, especially after Feast. Feast was everyone fails to do anything while the real shit is only hinted at. Tbqh I hate the riverlands shit (besides when Jaime is in it) and so Feast was pretty painful.
>Massive plate armor
>It doesn't protect your neck
>Helmet completely impairs vision, but doesn't even cover your jaw
If these are the King's Guards, no wonder so many Targ shits die.
>They didn't do roberts rebellion because they can't shoehorn diversity into it
they'd find a way. Diversity is literally mandatory these days
They technically couldn't shoehorn diversity into the Dance of the Dragons either, but they found a way. I think the real reason why they picked this story is because of the strong presence of female characters in it which they could exploit for feminist purposes.
*blocks your path*
how much seethe will she cause?
>They technically couldn't shoehorn diversity into the Dance of the Dragons either
All they had to do was elevate the narrative importance of Nettles, a fricking dragonrider and the only person to survive the war.
The feminist power shit really hurt GOT.
Based. Dragons with 4 legs could never fly. Flying animals have to have 2 legs.
Source: nature.
>the dragon must have four legs
yes
insects have six legs (and maybe wings); pterodactyls and birds have four with two of them being wings.
Janny Wurts and Raymond Feist knew this and designed their alien fauna accordingly. George RR Martin knew this. How do you not know this.
bruh they're magical not alien
literally magic
ill magically rape you homosexual moron
Why are they all so fricking ugly and old? Aren't Targaryens supposed to be the white ubermensch stereotype? And that fricking Black person there looks like a big joke. At least make multiple of them black so it isn't that noticeable
>No nude scenes for the female actresses
>Black folk
>Powerful and strong women meme
>parallels with real life social and political issues
Did I miss anything?
>no nude scenes
lol, no way, For normies the nudity was half the appeal.
I'm talking specifically about the female leads, the male leads and female extras will
I highly doubt the two female leads will get nude scenes since they are both literally transgender.
>no nude scenes
>lol, no way, For normies the nudity was half the appeal.
Appeal?
Burgers?
Reminder that Tyrion used to look blonde before they stopped giving a shit.
But the entire character was a waste from S4 onwards since he became moronic and they couldn't have their fan-favorite character lose his mind and becomes a vengeful shit.
It’s literally impossible to do Tyrion justice without Tysha. Tyrion doesn’t have a reason to give a shit about Dany or any other Iron Throne claimant unless he wants to destroy house Lannister. He helped keep Joffrey in power for fricks sake, why would he work to overthrow Tommen?
>young Rhaenyra actress at 16: pug nose
>older Rhaenyra actress: hooked nose
Do they even care?
Younger Rhaenyra for comparison
Everyone is so fricking ugly.
Thanks, OP. Can’t believe we are blessed this year with the opportunity to shit on two fantasy series. Bravo Hollywood.
>Wow cool a prequel set eons before the story
Why don't they do future shit instead?
>westeros get ipad
bump
why can't they just use generic plate armor instead of this awful looking shit
almost all of the armors in GOT looked terrible too
>I can call it whatever I want, it's not real
the heat is getting to me right now and this image made me dizzy and feel sick
just confused the frick out of me for like a solid minute
Same, at first I only thought that the pegasus had no wings.
is that the dude from pic related
Yep.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0175916
lotr elf armor with a space marine helmet.
This show will be shit.
George will never release the next book.
Move on.
An entirely white and blonde family plus one random magical Black with dreads who is also somehow related to them. Somehow. Some fricking how. Maybe they used magic to stop the rest of the kids looking like him. Maybe his black skin and hair are part of a voodoo curse. Or maybe it’ll never be explained in any way and it’s just Amazon looking for an opportunity to call you racist. Imma say probably the last one.
Then they were never dragons.
Wyverns have no front legs.
Yeah no one likes the race change to Corlys Velaryon, but hey expect both of his children to die this first season and expect outrage from the dindus
i don't know how but there is always a homosexual like you in these threads that acts like they won't also change the story like they've done a million times
If you weren't a 2 IQ troglodyte, you would have already recognized that this will happen from the snippets of video we've already gotten. Cope and Seethe.
what will happen? that they'll change the story? i already said they would
anyway, man, don't get so ticked off, everyone knows GoT sucks anyway
i never said that they wouldn't alter the story, you inbred lmao. You just want to come here and play edgy contrarian. Piss off.
sounds to me that you can't read, write, and now you're backtracking. it's okay anon, plenty of morons will watch the show because they're such hot fricking geeks like yourself, you'll be the toast of the town when they find out you're such a hot-dog fan of HBO's Fire And Blood, yo, *gang sign*
I love how steaming mad you get over nothing lmao
